A Quote by Jay E. Adams
1 Corinthians 10:13 "No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it." NKJV
The following is Jay E. Adams' remarks about this verse.
"Secondly, Paul says that Christians can't say "can't", because even though the basic designs are not unique, temptations and tests are tailor-made to each individual; and God is the Tailor.He will not allow the Devil to tempt them above that which they are able to withstand. The book of Job stands as a sturdy witness to this promise. At any given period in his life, what a Christian is able to withstand may differ from his previous ability or from that which God will enable him to endure at a future time. But whatever the test may be at any moment, it is not beyond his ability to withstand in Christ. Given the grace (help) of God, given his knowledge of God' Word, given the sanctification that is his to that point, given the resources of the Holy Spirit, no test is beyond his ability to withstand. It may be that it is only in stepping out to do God's will that the strength will come. God does not promise dying grace before it is time to die."
Amen!
